Tenpounder

Elops est un genre de poissons téléostéens.

Elops is a genus of marine ray-finned fish found worldwide, and the only extant member of the ancient family Elopidae. They are commonly known as ladyfish, skipjacks, jack-rashes, or tenpounders. They are fished, but their bodies are bony, so these fish are not marketed widely for consumption.

Los malachos, machetes, bananos o tarpones machete son el género Elops, único de esta familia Elopidae de peces incluida en el orden Elopiformes. ​ Su nombre procede del griego ellops, un tipo de serpiente. ​ Aparecen por primera vez en el registro fósil en el Cretácico inferior.
